I might be a little obsessed capturing those Kodak moments of anything and everything (mainly on vacations). I've become more of a gamer thanks to Mr. Elephant, who I met online and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. We are planning a wedding based on our favorite colors, blue and green, with a travel theme for 150 of our closest friends and family. Hopefully our long (2-year) engagement won't kill me!

Programs - What’s Inside?

February 22nd, 2011 @ 4:36 pm by Mrs. Elephant

You’re probably tired of these programs, so this is one last post, I promise! Well, it’s one last post dedicated to them. I’m sure they will show up in my recaps at some point.

I realized that I never actually showed you what was inside of our programs—that’s totally my bad. You’ve seen the embossed blue and green covers.

Open it up and guests will find a version of the normal passport page, formatted for our wedding. The left side was a free template from Aylee Bits. The right side is similar to most front pages of programs.

Flip the page and there is our order of ceremony. On the bottom of the left side is a note explaining the significance of the steel drums to our family.

Pages 5 & 6 list our wedding party. It would be a big ol’ blur so we’ll move onto pages 7 & 8—our thank you to guests and our parents and in loving memory page. I have to thank the web (and probably a bee, but I can’t remember which one) for the 1st half of the Thank You page, and another thank you to Mrs. Cloud for the words on our Memory page. I found the words so beautiful!

Last but not least, the bride and groom fun facts (which you also saw in the table numbers for our rehearsal dinner, idea thanks to Mrs. Fro Yo) and our address for guests to stay in touch.

What’s that I see? Why yes it’s Mrs. Sewing’s amazing drawing of us. I told you I was going to try and sneak it into another DIY project!

And that’s it, no more talk of programs from Miss Elephant!

Are you like me, someone who enjoys reading programs while waiting for the ceremony to begin? Have you seen any really interesting program ideas out there?

LOVE this program. I love reading the information in the programs, and have even kept some of the nicer ones for future inspiration. I am sure many of your guests held onto theirs as keepsakes. Great job!

Love the idea of “keep in touch with the newlyweds”! I’d totally add that to mine if we weren’t planning to move the summer after our wedding. Oops. Maybe when we figure out our new address I’ll include it with the thank you cards. :)

@toshella: I worried about that to because moving into a house is our next goal after the wedding, but I figure I can always send out some “we’ve moved” cards since we gathered all of these home addresses :)

@datialjohnson: My mom and I went to FedEx Office to use the extra long staplers there. Here’s a link to see what the staplers look like: http://www.weddingbee.com/2011/02/16/blue-green-wedding-stationery/

@Gerbera: Definitely! There is no way I could do my projects if it wasn’t for the awesome ideas of others :)

These are beautiful inside and out! I love reading programs before any event, and save wedding programs as keepsakes. Oddly enough I recently discovered my Mom does the same thing; it’s pretty neat to see programs from over 15 years ago!
